White wines: Zierfandler
Synonyms:
Spätrot
Wine:
Nutty spice, robust, elegant. Even in mediocre vintage years this
grape variety quickly attains qualities from Spätlese upwards.
Typical are the bouquet of almonds and pistachios as well as the
fullness
and elegance on the palate. Because of its powerful acidity the
Zierfandler also has a relatively long maturation period; this
applies all the more to Prädikat wine. With its regional counterpart,
the Rotgipfler, it is often blended and is then known as the Spätrot-Rotgipfler.
